Ingredients

  • 3 lb chuck roast trimmed of excess fat
  • 1 can condensed cream of celery soup
  • 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 64 oz beef broth divided
  • 4 tsp garlic paste
  • 24 oz bag frozen egg noodles I use the Reames brand

Instructions

  • To the inner bowl of your crockpot add 16 ouces of beef broth, the condensed soup, onion mix, Worcestershire, and garlic paste. Whisk everything together until evenly combined.
  • Add the prepared chuck roast to the center of the crockpot. Spoon some of the liquid over top.
  • Cover the crockpot with the lid, and cook the meat on low for 8 hours.
  • Open the crockpot, careful to avoid any hot steam, and use a pair of tongs to transfer the meat to a waiting plate or platter. Carefully pick out any obvious fat chunks attached to the meat then shred it with two forks or a pair of meat claws.
  • Skim any visible fat pieces out of the broth mixture in the pot, and then add the shredded beef back in. Add all of the remaining broth, or as much as you think you'll need for consistency at the end- remember noodles will soak up liquid.
  • Cover and cook another 8 hours on low.
  • An hour before serving, add the frozen noodles to the pot- stir them to incorporate, pushing them under the liquid if necessary. Cover, and continue cooking on HIGH heat for the final hour.
  • Check the noodles for doneness/tenderness before stirring and ladling the hot beef & noodles into bowls for serving.
  • Serve as is, or topped with a sprinkle of fresh herbs & a dollop of sour cream.
